Hi paulp, I am the GLASS rep for Hertfordshire, do not know of anything planned at the moment, but would suggest you look up a group called Twitch 4x4 on FaceBook (think they also have a website) they are based on Herts / Essex border and get out often and are very welcoming to new people...

Quick update the hose had failed, the pipes have a sharp barb to keep the pipe on, this had cut into the inside rubber hose and caused it to leak along the cotton between the two rubber sections. Replaced pipes no problem, however as my power steering needed bleeding afterwards, I assume this is...

When I bought my Patrol, the garage "serviced" it before I picked it up, turns out their idea of a service was to put the most horrid nasty oil they could find in it. Next morning I started it up and the oil light came on, this scared the life out of me but I did remember seeing something about...

There are two one is by the oil filter and the other hides behind the starter motor. Is your oil light staying on? Kind regards Russell.

The Patrol has two short rubber pipes in the metal lines from the Auto gearbox to the cooler to allow you to take the body off the chassis, these are located behind the nearside headlight, one of mine has started leaking, I am waiting for new pipe to fix it. My question is what oil do I put in...

I binned my auto hubs and bought a set of manual best £100 spent, also never unlock them have found this turns the diff keeping a good supply of oil to the half shaft oil seal and it has not failed since. Kind regards Russell

Fitted a set of high performance AVM lock / unlock hubs, just need to go green laning and test the out now. Kind regards Russell.

Well I have ordered a set of avm high performance manual hubs, will see how they perform. Kind regards Russell.

Took them off this morning and had a good look at them, what ever I do I can not get them to lock, so assume something inside has broken although I do not understand why both not working as surely once one breaks the drive takes the path of least resistance ie the broken one. Kind regards Russell.

My 2003 Patrol has the standard free wheeling hubs on the front wheels, recently had the swivels done and have noticed that the hubs no longer lock up and I also believe they are failing to engage in auto mode. Has my mechanic left something out I would be happy if I could just turn them to lock...

Personal taste but my bfg have the white inside. Kind regards Russell.

I used ironman for my 2 inch lift and I was told it would not need castor correction and in some cases castor correction could cause more problems than it solved as the bolts pass through the bush very close to the edge. Mine is a bit flighty to drive on a motorway but in no way unmanageable...

Looking great have they just fitted or have you had to do any adjustments. Regards washer jets for headlights do not throw them away, I broke one of mine on a tree and a replacement from Nissan is £106.00 so I fitted a Land Rover Discovery 1 (look very similar but different fittings two 8 mm...

Not a problem if anybody wants one of these the company that made it is called Technical Tooling Solutions Limited and there phone number is 01462 677354 guys name is Dave. He has the program saved so could make more if required. Kind regards Russell.

Mine never stayed on until I lifted the suspension, once you do this I think it becomes harder for the device to lock up again as the angles are changed, not really tested mine as only had the mod on for two days but it has not put the light on as yet. Kind regards Russell.

For those of you that do not know the Patrol has a switch on the dash that controls the operation of the rear ARB to allow it to flex more off road, the lump of ally I had machined both extended the drop link to allow for the lift and ment that the failed ball joint on the base of it was no...

On the back I made a drop link for one side the same as the front and also had this made up for the other side drop link.

As my Patrol has a 2 inch lift I needed to extend the drop links, these are the drop links I made for the front.

I bought essentially the bit you can see from USA via ebay. then cut the old tow bar piece off leaving just the bar that goes from left to right. then cut and weld the receiver onto that remaining bar, also welded cut down plate for electrical socket and a plate with hole for anchor chain. Kind...

I know about the legalities but best thing I ever did was remove the plough that was the tow bar and convert from 2 to 1 sockets, means I can off road without catching the back all the time. And also my trailer now tows at the correct height as you can get things like 0-12 inch drops on the tow...
